TERRIFIC STORM.

A Negro Man Killed by Lightning.
Correspondence ofthe Richmond Dispatch.l
Ay1Err's, VA, September -, 1887.
Ore Of the worst thunder-storms
known here for years passed over this
village last night about II o'clock. The
thunder was terrific and the liz htning
the most vivid / ever saw. The rainfall
was very great. Lunsford Hedgeman,
a colored man living near this place,
was killed by lightning while in bed
with his wife and child, and, strange to
say, neither the woman nor child was
hurt.
The corn crop is good-better than

A Murder Trial Commenced Grand
Jury wOrk-Other Items.

Jury WOfk-Otkcr Items.
ICorrospondencs Of the Richmond Dlspstch.l
FIHCAsTLE, Va, Sept. 10, 1887.
The trial OF Edward Johnston, the
negro who killed Milton Robinson on
the night Of August 10th last IN fight
AT a festival near Buchanan, commenced
this morning. The plea OF the prisoner
is self-defence. An the parties who
witnessed the tragedy are negroes.
The verdict Of the jury in the case Of
Washington White for maliciously as
saulting Robert Booker was one year in
the penitentiary. which the Court set
aside, granting him new trial.
The grand jury was discharged to-
day after continued and labOrious ses-
sion from day to day since Monday.
i doubt If the records of our court for
the past decade will show as much
crime unearthed 10y any one jury rs has
been unearthed by this jury. They
returned eighteen indictments for
felony, eleven for misdemeanor, and
four returned mot true bill" The
former high standing and influence,
social and political, Of some OF the par
ties indicted aud the highly.respected
and prominent family connections of
others lend additional interest TO the
doings Of this grand jury. There are five
indictments for illegal sale OF whiskey,
six for felonious assault, three for
assault and battery, four for grand lar
ceny. Of which two are against ex-
sherifls Of this county six for house
breaking and larceny, one for petit
larceny, one for disturbing religious
worship, one for attempting 10 burn the
county jail, and one for murder.
OF all these indictments not one is
likely TO create as much talk as that
against Henry X. Burger for grand
larceny. This indictment grew out Of
MIR. Burgers acts as sheriff, an Office
which be held by appointment from
October, 1888. till July, 1887.
About the close OF Mr.. Burgers term
Of Office it was alleged he was remiss in
paying over TO the parties entitled sums
Of money collected by him under exc

DEATH OF MIR. NJ. II. PENICK.

Mr.. Morris II. Penick died Tuesday
night at the residence OF his brother,
MIR. II. A. Penick, near this place. He
had for long time been afflicted with
consumption, and for some weeks be-
fore his death suffered intense agonies,
but bore his sufferings with great pa
tience and was perfectly resigned to
death. He was brother of Bishop
Clifton c. Penick, and leaves a widow
and one child. His funeral took place
yesterday evening at st. john church,
Halifax Courthouse.
The curing-tobaccO season is now in
progress. Very few farmers, however,
have completed that WORK. The crop
does not indicate now as much as it did
some time since. The tobacco has kept
too green, does not yellow well on the
hill, and consequently much difficulty
is experienced in giving it good color
when curing.
